Storms In Store For Solid Sound Weekend

Print Story | Email Story
It is a busy weekend in North County with the Solid Sound Music Festival opening its gates Friday and Memorial Day ceremonies Monday. 
 
Hopefully, the weather cooperates.
 
Thursday, May 26, will be a cloudy spring day with temperatures in the mid-70s but come Friday, temperatures will creep up into the 80s with showers and thunderstorms expected.
 
Expect high humidity and cloud cover throughout the day. The Weather Channel predicts that storms should begin in the afternoon.
 
Same deal on Saturday, May 28. Although temperatures will be cooler in the mid-70s, expect clouds, showers, and thunderstorms mainly in the afternoon.
 
The weather looks more consistent Sunday and Accuweather predicts sunny skies with temperatures in the high 70s. No storms are anticipated.
 
Memorial Day will be warmer and perfect for ceremonies and picnics. Temperatures should be in the high 80s.
 
Expect similar weather Tuesday.
 
Looking even further ahead, Accuweather predicts a few 90-degree days midweek — so look forward to that.

RFP Ready for North County High School Study

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The working group for the Northern Berkshire Educational Collaborative last week approved a request for proposals to study secondary education regional models.
 
The members on Tuesday fine-tuned the RFP and set a date of Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 4 p.m. to submit bids. The bids must be paper documents and will be accepted at the Northern Berkshire School Union offices on Union Street.
 
Some members had penned in the first week of January but Timothy Callahan, superintendent for the North Adams schools, thought that wasn't enough time, especially over the holidays.
 
"I think that's too short of a window if you really want bids," he said. "This is a pretty substantial topic."
 
That topic is to look at the high school education models in North County and make recommendations to a collaboration between Hoosac Valley Regional and Mount Greylock Regional School Districts, the North Adams Public Schools and the town school districts making up the Northern Berkshire School Union. 
 
The study is being driven by rising costs and dropping enrollment among the three high schools. NBSU's elementary schools go up to Grade 6 or 8 and tuition their students into the local high schools. 
 
The feasibility study of a possible consolidation or collaboration in Grades 7 through 12 is being funded through a $100,000 earmark from the Fair Share Act and is expected to look at academics, faculty, transportation, legal and governance issues, and finances, among other areas.
